New Year Racing Results and Club Scandals
The club’s New Year races on the Atherto were marred by chaotic conditions and questionable officiating, with several horses slipping up and one disqualification noted. Monarch well placed in the 5 fur long trial handicap, while Norman Lee and Fiscal deadheated in the 1/2 mile division. Safrane sold in Melbourne for 36 guineas, and J Griffiths resigns as stipendiary steward to become Albion Park handicapper at £60 per season. Disqualifications hit Strathfield and others amid reported dishonest practices.
